近年来,促进跨学科研究引起了人们的广泛关注,特别是纳米科学和纳米技术。虽然政策话语强调,纳米技术是实质性的综合,一些分析家反驳说,它实际上是一个松散的混合物相对传统的口袋物理,化学和其他学科的相互关系很弱。我们正在开发实证措施,以衡量和可视化的程度和跨学科交流的性质。这些结果说明了研究组织,资金和机制,以支持知识转移。在这项研究中,我们使用“科学覆盖图”的文章,他们的参考文献,已被归类为主题类别的跨学科联系的性质。我们发现纳米研究的增长速度正在放缓,其组成正在发生变化(例如,增加化学相关活动)。我们的研究结果表明,纳米技术研究包括多个学科,从学科不同的知识来源汲取知识。纳米研究是高度的,而且越来越多的是综合性的,但现在的科学也是如此。对纳米研究活动的制表和绘图显示了材料科学的一个主要核心,广泛定义。额外的分析和地图表明,纳米研究广泛借鉴了其他领域的知识;它不局限于狭窄的筒仓。
Facilitating cross-disciplinary research has attracted much attention in recent years, with special concerns in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although policy discourse has emphasized that nanotechnology is substantively integrative, some analysts have countered that it is really a loose amalgam of relatively traditional pockets of physics, chemistry, and other disciplines that interrelate only weakly. We are developing empirical measures to gauge and visualize the extent and nature of interdisciplinary interchange. Such results speak to research organization, funding, and mechanisms to bolster knowledge transfer. In this study, we address the nature of cross-disciplinary linkages using “science overlay maps” of articles, and their references, that have been categorized into subject categories. We find signs that the rate of increase in nano research is slowing, and that its composition is changing (for one, increasing chemistry-related activity). Our results suggest that nanotechnology research encompasses multiple disciplines that draw knowledge from disciplinarily diverse knowledge sources. Nano research is highly, and increasingly, integrative—but so is much of science these days. Tabulating and mapping nano research activity show a dominant core in materials sciences, broadly defined. Additional analyses and maps show that nano research draws extensively upon knowledge presented in other areas; it is not constricted within narrow silos.
